The Koko the Clown cartoons are among the very best silent cartoons ever made and they hold up very well today. They manage to integrate cartoon characters into the real world in a way that sure looks way ahead of their time.
The story begins with Koko and his dog Fitz using the mirror in preparation for an outing. However, this is interrupted by something that horrifies them....Max has gotten himself a new puppy! They are quite jealous and lock the puppy in a suitcase....and when they are caught they are sent to prison and nearly executed! Wow...talk about a harsh punishment!!
This is a very funny cartoon...very well made, clever and cute. Plus, you get to see a puppy wearing a bowtie....how cool is that?! Among the better installments of the series.
